Mantaloupe

A humanoid cantaloupe. Apparently born of an alcoholic Psychic nightmare. Ask Marek Alfweine or Elle Lehtonen for details.

Marek: That was a weird night. I'd picked up sushi and sake to eat at home with Elle. When I got there, she had apparently had the same idea but with red wine and spaghetti. We ended up eating the sushi--
Elle: I burned the spaghetti. Don't ask. I'm a terrible cook.
Marek: --and drinking most of both kinds of alcohol. Somewhere around eleven, we fell asleep on the couch and both had some of the strangest dreams ever. The cantaloupe thing was something Elle had said to me on our first date, that the signage at the library could have a singing, dancing naked cantaloupe on it and people still wouldn't read them. I guess it stuck with me because when I woke up, there was a cantaloupe in the living room.
Elle: I dreamed about it, too. It's possible the combination of Marek's psychic empathy and my vivid imagination caused something to manifest. We aren't really sure and nobody who came to check the apartment afterward could come up with a better explanation. It's the best we have.
Marek: She--the mantaloupe--screamed when we woke up and covered herself like something out of a 40s movie.
Elle: Which made me scream.
Marek: And me. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Anyway, she screamed, we screamed, she bolted for the door yelling something about monsters in her house and we didn't see her again after that. She could have vanished when she got far enough away from us, for all we know.
Elle: Well, except that there have been sightings of a huge, bloated cantaloupe woman wandering the outskirts of town. We can't find her and we can't track her; her footsteps look the same as a human's. The werewolves won't go near her. They say she smells wrong and I have to admit that I'd agree. At this point, she might have started to rot.
